Chapter 107: Sister-in-Law Is Well-Educated and Polite

"Because the village chief said he wants to seek justice from you."

"Me?" The fat man couldn't believe his ears. "Seek justice from me?" Is that old man tired of living?

"Yes, aren't you Zhu's husband?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Go find him after the village chief calls you back."

The fat man was absolutely unwilling to leave the house at this time, but he was not stupid. He figured out the problem immediately and looked at Zhu with a squint: "What's going on?"

In fact, this practice has violated Lu Han's instructions. The latter's original words were: let the villagers have less contact and talk less with the officers and soldiers, so as not to reveal the truth.

But now, he felt that if he said one more word to He Lingchuan, he might lose control.

The fat man turned his back to He Lingchuan and gave Zhu a warning look.

Zhu had a blank expression on her face: "The lake god is a spirit turtle, and it is said that it is at least three hundred years old. Xianling Village holds a small sacrifice every three months and a large sacrifice every year. The spirit turtle only allows villagers to enter the lake to fish once a week, and they are not allowed to use fine mesh, but it will bless humans to go into the water safely and have a good harvest. By the way, the spirit turtle is also good at divination. In the past, villagers went to the Shuiling Temple to ask for divination and it was very effective."

"In the past?" He Lingchuan became interested and temporarily changed the subject, "What happened later?"

"There were too many villagers who asked for divination, and some even came from hundreds of miles away, disturbing Shuiling's meditation." Zhu replied, "Shuiling expressed his dissatisfaction to the village chief in a dream, so the village chief hung up the bucket of divination and stopped asking. Even if some villagers went to ask secretly, or put sacrifices into the lake, it was no longer effective. Gradually, everyone gave up on this idea."

So this is an old turtle demon with a side job?

"What happened to the spirit tablet today?"

"I passed by the Shuiling Temple this morning and found that the Shuiling tablet was broken. The village chief thought I did it."

He Lingchuan was even more puzzled: "Why did the village chief think it was you?"

"..." Zhu was silent for a while before saying, "I was the only one passing by this morning."

The fat man said angrily: "It turned out that you, this woman, caused me trouble!"

The villagers assigned to other companions were as docile as sheep, but he was unlucky and was assigned a troublemaker.

He Lingchuan asked him, "Aren't you going to the village chief to plead your case?"

The fat man had already thought it through: "The village chief is old and has gone to bed early. I'll go to him tomorrow morning to argue."

Mrs. Zhu suddenly asked, "Could Shui Ling's tablet have been broken by herself?"

He Lingchuan thought for a long time before saying, "If she broke it by herself, it means that Shui Ling is in trouble, either seriously injured or dead."

He suddenly asked the guards, "What do you think?"

The guards shook their heads, "I don't know either."

The fat man pointed at the two guards with a sullen face and asked, "Wait, are they going to stay here too?" If they were going to do it at night, the difficulty would increase now.

"Personal bodyguards, do you know what personal bodyguards mean?" He Lingchuan was talking when two servants came outside with bags on their backs. They saluted him as soon as they entered the door: "Young Master, let's make the bed."

Although He Lingchuan didn't care, when Madam Ying packed up her house in Blackwater City, she still ordered people to bring the bedding of her two sons. The things outside are dirty, so it's better to use your own things with confidence.

He Lingchuan led them into the inner room, just like the owner.

Fatty Wang saw these people coming in and out of the room, busy all the time, as if he was an outsider, and couldn't help but sneer. This dog official's family was so particular even in the poor mountain valley, and I don't know how much money they usually extort from the people.

While the servant was making the bed, He Lingchuan asked him: "Where is the second young master staying?"

Fortunately, the man knew that he was referring to He Yue: "The second young master will sleep in the second family in the south, next to the lake tonight."

The second young master was also far away from him and his parents, and it was hard to say that this arrangement was unintentional. "Why sleep so far away, move him to my side! We still have to talk at night." He pointed to the farmhouse opposite, "I think this one is very good and spacious."

Only he could be such a loud guest. The He family was very polite, except for the eldest young master. The servants were also used to it. After receiving the order, they would report to the housekeeper Lao Mo. Anyway, it was the housekeeper who figured it out.

He Lingchuan asked again: "Are my family still in the house?"

"The county magistrate and his wife are here, the second young master is out."

He Lingchuan frowned: "Where are you going?"

The guards who stayed in the hall also said to Fatty Wang: "Your family is poor, and the young master is willing to help. But he can't sleep when he moves to another place. Seeing that his sister-in-law is well-educated and polite, I wonder if you can chat with him for a few words?" After that, he put a silver ingot of ten taels on the table.

Fatty Wang looked at the silver ingot and didn't know what to say for a while.

Does Xiaogou really like Zhu?

But he knew that these two people should never be alone, so he slammed the table and expressed his anger just right: "What did you say! Take your silver and get out!"

"Why are you so anxious?" He Lingchuan stood at the door of the inner room with his arms folded, "You can earn ten taels of silver by saying a few words. This kind of good thing, you can find it elsewhere with a lantern?"

The two servants behind him were very well-mannered. They closed the door after leaving Zhu's house.

"I won't let you stay here!" Fatty Wang walked into the inner room, trying to take the opportunity to throw his bedding out.

Two guards in the hall, one quickly stopped him: "Don't move!"

Fatty Wang couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed the guard away with a palm.

Even if he was slow, he knew that He Lingchuan was suspicious, otherwise why would someone talk nonsense like this?

What's the big deal about tearing up the relationship? This little dog coveted someone else's wife, shouldn't he be beaten? The reason is on his side. Even if He Gouguan wants to be partial, he should see where this is.

Just then, Fatty Wang suddenly smelled a horrible stench!

The sour and refreshing feeling was not even one tenth of that of He Lingchuan, even if he had covered his sweaty feet in airtight boots for ten days and then put them under his nose.

Fatty Wang was so drunk that he bent over and vomited with a "wow".

At this time, all the momentum, posture, and vigilance were thrown out of the sky. His body instinct was the most honest.

Another guard rushed up and hit the fat man's neck hard with the handle of the knife.

Logically, he should have fallen to the ground.

But this fat man was thick-skinned and did not faint. Although he was still in serious physical discomfort, he knew to rush towards He Lingchuan, with his two fat palms spread out, to strangle his throat.

As long as he strangled this kid and turned around, and used him as a meat shield in front, the guards would definitely be afraid to use their weapons.

The moment he rushed out, the ring on his ring finger even emitted a faint black light. This ring is called the Blackthorn Ring, and is made of the tusks of the blackthorn wild boar. While strengthening the owner's strength and injuring the opponent, it can also inflict poison on the wound. If not treated in time, the muscles and bones will quickly die.

But he was out of breath after all, and his movements were half a beat slow. Zhu had already grabbed the wooden cup from the table and suddenly poured half a cup of boiling water on his face.
